A number assignment module, or NAM, consists of a phone number and network information that the service provider programs into your phone. When you select a NAM, you’re not only selecting a phone number, you’re also selecting a home system in which you will not be charged roaming fees.

The two NAMs are not equal. Some features, such as

system selection (see page 33) and network feature setting (see page 27), are available only when the primary NAM is selected.

Use Menu 4 5 to select a NAM.

Send own number

This network service allows you to hide your phone number from a person you are calling who has Caller ID. (If for some reason your network prevents phone numbers from being displayed, you may be able to use this feature to show your number to the person you are calling.) Contact your service provider for feature codes for showing/hiding your phone number.

Standard method

1Dial the feature code followed by the number you want to call.

2Press Call.

Example: If the feature code to hide your number is *67 and the number you want to dial is (214) 555-1234, dial *672145551234, then press Call.

Menu method

You can save the feature code given by your service provider so that Send own number appears in your phone’s menu, and then use Menu 4 4 5 to use this feature. See ‘Network feature setting’ on page 27.

This feature must be activated before each call.

Yes displays your number to the person you are calling.

No prevents your number from being shown to the person you are calling.
